Whilst i was watching 'This Morning' this morning, a man was on about useful websites, he comes onto the show every week

and this week he mentioned this site, what you do is tick the boxes that match what you have in your kitchen cupboards at home and it tells you what meals you can make out of what you have, i think its excellent...instead of thinking 'i've got nothing in for tea, what can i make?' it sorts it out for you

have a go, its brilliant

I said 'the last on the list'
I thought the 'beans on toast' option was quite imaginative
